Questions and Answers

Q 1 - What is the worst case run-time complexity of binary search algorithm?

A - Ο(n2)

B - Ο(nlog n)

C - Ο(n3)

D - Ο(n)

Answer : D

Explanation

In the worst case, binary search will be left or right intended, making it compare all the n values.

Q 2 - Maximum number of nodes in a binary tree with height k, where root is height 0, is

A - 2k − 1

B - 2k+1 − 1

C - 2k-1 + 1

D - 2k − 1

Answer : B

Explanation

If the root node is at height 0, then a binary tree can have at max 2k+1 − 1 nodes.

For example: a binary tree of height 1, can have maximum 21+1 − 1 = 3 nodes.

   r    --------- 0
  / \
 L   R  --------- 1

Q 3 - A linked-list is a dynamic structure

A - true

B - false

Answer : A

Explanation

A linked-list is dynamic structure, it can shrink and expand as required by the program.

Q 4 - Maximum degree of any vertex in a simple graph of vertices n is

A - 2n - 1

B - n

C - n + 1

D - n - 1

Answer : D

Explanation

In a simple graph, a vertex can have edge to maximum n - 1 vertices.

Answer : C

Explanation

As trees do not have loops, they are easier to traverse.

Q 6 - Time required to merge two sorted lists of size m and n, is

A - Ο(m | n)

B - Ο(m + n)

C - Ο(m log n)

D - Ο(n log m)

Answer : B

Explanation

The time required to merge two sorted list is Ο(m + n).

Q 7 - Which of these alogrithmic approach tries to achieve localized optimum solution −

A - Greedy approach

B - Divide and conquer approach

C - Dynamic approach

D - All of the above

Answer : A

Explanation

Greedy approach focuses only on localized optimum solution.

Q 8 - If there's no base criteria in a recursive program, the program will

A - not be executed.

B - execute until all conditions match.

C - execute infinitely.

D - obtain progressive approach.

Answer : C

Explanation

Without a base criteria and progressive approach, a recursion is just an infinite iteration.

Answer : A

Explanation

BST does not care about complete binary tree properties.

Answer : C

Explanation

A stable sorting algorithm like bubble sort, does not change the sequence of appearance of similar element in the sorted list.
